A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
